Looking back at autumn/winter collections throughout fashion's history, one thing remains constant: statement outerwear. As temperatures drop, a standout coat or jacket naturally becomes the focal point of every outfit. For AW25, the Nordic fashion scene has spoken – the must-have outerwear of the season is a faux fur coat. Long or short, bold or neutral, one rule applies: the bigger, the better.

A timeless hue that we embrace year after year is burgundy. Arguably one of the most flattering hues, it works effortlessly on its own in a monochrome look or paired with other neutrals like white, denim, black, and brown. This season, following the bold direction of Danish designers, there’s no such thing as too much burgundy. Embrace the power of mixing and matching different shades of this rich colour for an elevated look.

We’re saying goodbye to stripes and declaring checkmate. One of the most exciting trends gracing the runways isn’t about materials or colours, but the return of checks. From classic plaids to bold graphic patterns, this timeless design is making a strong statement, offering both chic sophistication and versatility. Whether it’s streetwear, as seen from Rolf Ekroth, or a more refined approach on Skall Studio's runway, we’re fully embracing it.

The Scandinavian region is celebrated for its fashion aesthetics, with minimalism emerging as one of its most defining characteristics. The timeless staple wardrobe is the foundation for many brands when crafting their upcoming collections. Another look that our region excels at is denim—in all its forms. While denim is a key component of the staple wardrobe, its versatility ensures it can take on many different styles. For example, Won Hundred brings an edgier, layered denim look, while OpéraSport's takes a more tailored, sophisticated approach with their denim suit. For AW25, we’re all for more denim, in every style imaginable.

Once considered a bold statement, transparent fashion has now become a seasonal staple, reappearing on both Nordic and international runways season after season. While fall fashion is typically associated with rich textures and heavier fabrics, sheer styles introduce an unexpected lightness, proving that even in colder months, fashion can defy convention. From barely-there tops to translucent dresses, the Danish fashion scene is fully embracing the allure of the almost-naked look.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. Lace-trimmed clothing brings a refined yet edgy touch to fall wardrobes that we wholeheartedly approve of. For the fall/winter collections, designers are incorporating lace to add intricate detail to otherwise simple silhouettes, such as midi skirts and satin dresses. This trend is elevating everyday basics with a delicate hint of femininity.

Autumn is the perfect season to embrace outerwear, making it a central focus of the trends. This season, alongside faux fur, leather coats are taking centre stage. Copenhagen Fashion Week showcased the evolution of this trend, with designers experimenting with a variety of colours and shapes. It’s evident that leather is no longer just for casual looks - it’s become a bold material for those looking to make a statement.

Mini everything is making a strong comeback this season, with a particular focus on mini skirts, proving that shorter hemlines aren’t just for summer. Whether paired with a faux fur jacket, a matching blazer, or a cozy cardigan, this trend injects a playful edge into autumn’s typically more covered-up silhouettes.

Mastering the art of layering can transform any neutral color into something far more captivating, adding depth and dimension – especially when it comes to grey, a colour often seen as basic or dull. You can focus your layering on different shades of grey or experiment with contrasting materials. Materials offer an edgier, more personal look, while varying shades of grey create striking contrasts and depth. Whichever method you choose, when layered thoughtfully, grey can evoke a sophisticated, modern elegance. Layering is the perfect example that sometimes, less really is more.
